Jags and Allen Robinson haven't discussed a new contract since last year

According to Mike Kaye of First Coast News, the Jacksonville Jaguars have yet to discuss a new contract with Allen Robinson and his agent. In fact, the two sides haven’t spoken since last year’s training camp, which may come as a shocker to some.

During my conversation with #Jaguars WR Allen Robinson, we discussed his impending free agency. He told me the two sides haven't had contract negotiations since last year's training camp.

Keep in mind, it's still early in the offseason and those negotiations still could happen.

As for his contract negotiations, it’s simply too early in the process for fans to hit the panic button. Marquee players such as Drew Brees (or at least his agent) will be meeting with their respective teams during the NFL combine next week, and that could very well be the case for Robinson and his camp. Ultimately, if they don’t make any progress on a short or long-term deal, the Jags can always place the franchise tag worth approximately $16 million on him. Regardless of what terms the Jags agree to, it’s hard to imagine them letting a receiver of Robinson’s magnitude to hit the open market.
